[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why? Because she is brown and poor, and has a history of drug addiction. If she were white the other two would be reason for compassion.[/quote] My mom worked nicu at a hospital in a white very upper class area. She said so many of the women would just do cocaine to induce labor. They test every baby for drugs when they are born. They’d just note on the chart that the baby was cocaine positive and go on with their day. [/quote] wow, did not know that.[/quote] DP. The mom nurse is probably leaving out the social worker and/or legal consequences associated with the test results. [/quote] This. I am a nurse as well (pediatrics), and a baby with cocaine in his or her system is an automatic social work consult usually leading to CPS involvement. Just because the baby is discharged home with the mom doesn't mean that's where it ended for those families. [/quote]
